Using Visuals to Enhance Learning & Independence

Visuals, such as pictures, symbols, and drawings are often used in classrooms to encourage children's independence and confidence.

Visuals also aid in understanding tasks and routines and can work wonders beyond the classroom. Learn how to use visuals at home with your child to help with routines, changes and transitions, expressing emotions and more!

Acting Chief Superintendent  

Hello From Your New Chief Superintendent

It is an incredible responsibility to lead an organization of 140,000+ students from kindergarten to Grade 12, but it is not a job I do alone. It takes teachers, parents, support staff, partners and the whole community to enable students to thrive. I look forward to working in partnership with families to continue to provide the very best learning in the city.

- Joanne Pitman, Chief Superintendent of Schools
